Fans of Britain's biggest soap operas are in for a scheduling shake-up next week as live football coverage forces major changes to the usual line-up. ITV's Emmerdale and Coronation Street, along with BBC's EastEnders, will all be affected by the disruption.
When Will the Soaps Air?
The UEFA Nations League clash between England and Germany on Monday 26th September is causing the schedule changes. Here's what soap fans need to know:
- Emmerdale will air at 7pm instead of its usual 7:30pm slot on Monday
- Coronation Street moves to 8pm on Monday (normally airing at 8:30pm)
- EastEnders will be completely absent from BBC One on Monday night
Catch-Up Options
For those who miss their soap fix, all episodes will be available:
- On each show's respective streaming platform (ITV Hub or BBC iPlayer)
- Through catch-up TV services
- During repeat showings later in the week
The schedule returns to normal from Tuesday 27th September, with all soaps airing at their regular times.
